This is more than a charming Irish memoir. The voice of a spirited young girl sets the perfect tone to deliver Irish history, the determination of a family to make their way into another country, and the importance of music. - The New York Times best selling author Jacqueline Sheehan.

A splendid read.- Oliver P. Rafferty, Professor of History, Boston College.

A richly evocative memoir of resilience, ambition, and music that traces the extraordinary journey of John and May O'Carroll - Irish independence fighters who, after years of political imprisonment, began anew in Depression-era Sydney, Australia. Told through the eyes of fiercely observant middle child Maureen who went on to become an acclaimed cellist, this narrative chronicles the chaos and warmth of a large immigrant family and their determination to thrive in their new home. Music plays a vital role in the lives of the ten children and is instrumental in the family rising above their hard circumstances to achieve a better life.
